I’m not technical enough to give this talk
summary
Claim: no CS degree and never been paid to write code does not block a career in developer relations. The talk shows the concrete route: writing tutorials, shipping small demos, running meetups, giving talks, and tracking engagement metrics as the skills that matter more than formal credentials. Argued outcomes include getting hired as a developer evangelist and influencing product decisions, with emphasis on communication, empathy, and demonstrated contributions rather than résumé titles.
